“The scriptures make it abundantly clear that a Christian nation that abandons its faith and acts contrary to the Gospel (and in naked breach of a coronation oath) will be beset by natural disasters such as storms, disease, pestilence and war,” Silverster wrote. “I wrote to [Prime Minister] David Cameron in April 2012 to warn him that disasters would accompany the passage of his same-sex marriage bill. But he went ahead despite a 600,000-signature petition by concerned Christians and more than half of his own parliamentary party saying that he should not do so. It is his fault that large swathes of the nation have been afflicted by storms and floods.”

In a totally unnecessary addendum, Silvester said that no one “can mess with Almighty God with impunity and get away with it.”

There is one difference between the UK and the U.S., however. In the U.S. Silvester would be celebrated by his party and quite possibly encouraged to run for president. As a result of his comment in the UK, however, the UK Independence Party suspended Silvester from its ranks.

Ho interesting: religious idiots in New Zealand who were opposed to marriage equality claimed it was the reason for that country’s drought… but as MP Maurice Williamson (Pakuranga NZ) explains, on the day of passage there were heavy rains and a “big gay rainbow” spread out over his electorate. If you haven’t seen this, IT’S ROUSING! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRQXQxadyps

No word in the bible saying Noah’s great flood was caused by homosexuality. The lowly humans who wrote the bible really screwed up on that one.
